Catch Up

Our brilliant parenting moment this month: we bought Missy a new bed. YAY, right? A twin bed. To go on her DOUBLE bed headboard. I am kind of glad. I think a full bed would have been huge for her. I also think the green eyed monster in the form of her brother would have reared its ugly head. Oh well.

I went with the Haley bedding from PB. I heart PB. Total no brainer. Before I even gave Missy options, before we looked at pictures without a doubt she told me owl sheets. OWL. Not sure exactly where she got the idea but she is SO geeked about them. I bought her an owl pillow from Target today and dude I think I totally won parenting points she was SO geeked about that pillow. Still work to be done. We moved her room all around sans headboard :(. I want to find some owl type cards to replace the current pics in two frames. I have an Etsy site I love but I am not sure I want to commit to the Etsy pricing on something I think she will outgrow in the next few years.

Missy had her first UTI this week. I do not want to get too specific but the reason for the UTI has been a massive panic. I am not happy about the situation and I am not happy about having to make a HUGE decision about having to deal with the issue. UGH. Being the responsible adult parent type figure? It's hard.

M Bug has his graduation from Kindergarten next Friday. Let that one sink in. So weird. I will have a first grader after the 8th of June. Also, I did not know I was supposed to be the pre AND post Kindergarten photo! HA.

I have been trying a new workout schedule. More cross training, less running. I think I gained weight... It probably needs some more time and maybe more commitment. Also, I need my kids to stay healthy for five minutes!

I am getting super excited to head to KY for a little family trip soon. Pseudo camping at Mammoth Caves. When I say pseudo I mean we are staying in a cheesy hotel in the area!

I know I have more to say but less is more so for now this is it! Happy Memorial Weekend!

About Me

Bug #1: M Bug

He is a character - he loves to tell jokes and dance around like a goofball shaking his rump!

Hanging with his buddies

Playing computer games and board games - he is fiercely competitive

He will sit down and read a book cover to cover as quickly as possible

His fear of storms is still a huge part of our lives - he's a worrier

BUT he kind of loves the weather and science

School - he really loves school; his teachers have all told me if they could have a classroom filled with kids like him their jobs would be easy!

Bug #2: Missy

She is eight!

She is in grade three

Anything M Bug is doing much to his annoyance

She is a crafty artsy little soul - she will draw pictures and wants to write stories out of the blue

She will wear a dress while playing basketball with scrapes on her knees and a bow in her hair - a girl after my own heart!Sports include softball and hockey

She is a Girl Scout and proud of it!

She is tough as nails when she needs to be

She loves to be the absolute center of attention giggling and grinningGirl has a wicked smile and lights up a room with her giggleShe is ALL fiery red head!She is hard headed and won't kindly accept help and yet in the same breath she can be as sweet as can be

She's a talker - I have no idea where she gets that from...

Lucy and Bolt

They are DOGS of our house. Lucy is an 13 year old black & white mutt lab terrier (WHAT?!) mix that we rescued from the pound when we first moved into town. She is the sweetest most kindest dog I have ever known in my entire life.

Bolt's age is sort up in the air. Let's say 8-ish?? He is a terrier mix (Chihuahua maybe?) that we brought home from the same pound just about two years ago. He looks a lot like a JRT and acts like one too. He is mostly white with some black and tan. He thinks he rules the house but little does he know Queen Lucy is in charge. That crazy guy sleeps like a human with his head on a pillow and the covers pulled to his chin (no shit!) and talks to us when he wants to eat - woof, growl woof ;) He's filled the spot in our hearts that sweet Santana left when he died and we could not be happier he came to live in our home with us!
